I saw this video on the history of Kaliningrad the other day, quite well done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2f9Zf-MDtU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2f9Zf-MDtU Russia has at various times tried to give away Kaliningrad to several countries, who refused it because... it's full of Russians, and Russia will inevitably invade whoever has native Russian speakers to "come to their rescue". It wasn't Putin that invented this, as it turns out.
